Plymouth Argyle have certainly got tongues wagging with a teasing tweet that alludes to something happening at Home Park on Friday, May 11.

The club certainly like to keep fans guessing through their Twitter account – the announcing of a new player is preceded by a couple of tweets with clues as to who the new man is – and they are at it again with a tweet sent out this afternoon.

We are of the thinking that today’s intriguing tweet is to suggest the announcement of the new kit, with the Pilgrims confirming recently that they will once again be sporting new home and away shirts in 2018/19.

But could the new number be a throwback to their first ever home shirt?

A quick look at the historicalkits.co.uk website shows that Argyle wore a green and black half and half shirt back then and with this being the 120th anniversary of that particular kit, could manufacturers PUMA once again go back in time for their design for the 2018/19 campaign and go with something similar?

The website states: “Although the club takes 1886 as the year of its foundation, it is now known that the original Argyle FC went out of existence in 1894.

“Formed by F Howard Grose and W Pethybridge, the team was made up of former public school boys and servicemen at a meeting in a house in Argyll Terrace.

“The club's website suggests a connection with the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders who were at that time stationed in Plymouth and who had impressed Grose by winning the Army Cup but this version has been questioned.

“The club's unusual green and black colours are those of the Borough of Plymouth and not the tartan worn by the Scottish regiment, as has been suggested.”

It was almost two years ago that PUMA released the hugely popular white away kit with a green band, reminiscent to the kit worn by the Pilgrims from 1964-66 and again from 1968-71. So could they go all retro again?
